Why do so many of the first batch of cars have 826 wheels?

It seems that pretty much all of the cars that BMW has put out there for dealers and in videos all have the 826 Bicolor wheels. I've seen close to zero cars with the 825s on them. Any thoughts why? I suppose the 826's look a little more sporty? Are a little lighter?

I ordered the 825 Bicolor as I thought they would have a little more pop and that the 826 bicolor seemed not so bicolor in comparison, but rather had a much more muted look. It seems in the videos I'm starting to see there is a little more reflectivity with that lighter part of the 826's than I had thought. It's too late for me to change my order now, but I might have gone that way had I seen some of these vids. I'm hoping the 825's aren't too bright in comparison.
